About ...The Stables at Eagle Mountain

Graphic:  "Who we are ... "  
The Stables is owned and operated by Nikki and Dana Surrusco.  Click here to read about us and the rest of the staff at The Stables.  We lease our facility (formerly known as "Eagle Mountain Equestrian Center") from Coosawattee River Resort in Ellijay, GA.
Graphic:  "... what we do ..."  
The short answer:  we run an eventing-based riding academy and boarding facility that is centered on Pony Club principles of riding safety and horse management.

The REALLY long answer:  we have lots of goals!  We teach high standards of horsemanship to insure that both the horse and the rider have a safe and enjoyable relationship.  In the barn, we promote the same high standards of horse care, with the belief that a system of equine education can help prevent unwitting abuse of the horse.

Through weekly riding lessons, United States Pony Club, HorseSense clinics, day camps, and our Working Student program, we teach both young people and adults the realities of horse ownership and competition.  In essence, we teach:

We think that being around horses is an invaluable way to teach kids lessons about life -- and it's wonderful therapy for us adults!  Pony Club teaches its members to give back, both to the club and to the community.  This is our way of sharing the joy and fulfillment we've found in a life with horses.
